Our dearest Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
All glories to Sri Harinama Sankirtan
Dearest Guru Maharaj,
Please accept this short poem as a humble offering on this most auspicious day of your Vyasa Puja. The title of the poem is Jayapataka the Padma!
Jayapataka the Padma!
In a room of darkness
You came as a torch
To remove this madness
You came took charge
Showing us the vastness
You left us supercharged
Lighting up our inwardness
You are leading up the march
To those mentality of Godless
You came in with a barge
Carrying Guru's order regardless
You sate the souls in parch
Teaching us our dharma
Freeing us from karma
Placed under Lord Narasimha
Not an ordinary atma.
Jayapataka the Padma!
Your torched matchstick,
Sarvani Laxmipriya devi dasi (Diksha)
Temple of Devotion and Understanding (TODU)
Perai, Penang, Malaysia.
